No, I do believe it. I've seen it. While there are some circumstances where there is a clear cut reason (nova panels vs epson panels in E4G) there are other places where there are supposedly identical hardware that can't do the same thing, some times with wildly varying results.

...this is in contrast with my results with other hardware over the years, but, I guess when you really get down to it you should compare a smartphone to an entire computer, monitor keyboard mouse and all. It has far more in common with that than an overclocked video card or memory chip.

So yes, while I sound incredulous I actually do believe it....even though it seems absurd I do believe it. My E4G was a ****ing phenomenal specimen of a phone. Not a single problem the entire time. I'm on my 2nd E3D and I'm not sure if I got a perfect one or not yet, but, I've had no issues so far and can OC to the max so far (1.8), I haven't tried for 2.0 yet though. That's next up.

Has there been any progress with the tegra2 limitations on high profile HD videos, especially with 3.2 or will this never be fixed?

there are way too many high profile hd videos out there for this to not work on any name brand tablets (except Archos ironically and jailbroken ipad1/2).

For 720p try diceplayer. Works for most MKVs and is the best we'll get probably...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superflysocal:
is it hardware acceleration for high profile 720p videos?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhawkff:
Yes. It is. There's a thread in the app section somewhere where the dev is actively talking to people on xda. It's worth the $4. I play 720P high profile videos often, but it takes either a really good SDcard, or use the internal memory. A slow (aka <10 mbps I think...my 6mbps usd card doesn't play well) card will make it not work. For obvious bandwidth issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaykee:
Hi I just installed it and it works!

My high profile 720p mkv files are playing very smooth.

But I cannot understand WHY this the DicePlayer is the only player

that can play such files smoothly. Maybe it uses hardware decoding for video and software decoding for audio?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
class 10 is 10 megabytes per second... in order for video content to exceed that bandwidth, it'd be 600 megabytes per minute of video, or 36gb per hour of video. Bandwidth is not an issue.

also keep in mind classes are WRITE speeds, not read, read is almost always faster than write.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superflysocal:
I tried this and now about 1/2 to 3/4 of my 720p files can be played smoothly.

Wondering though, the ones that do play, have a slight pixelated appearance to them, I was dissapointed in its visual appearance. I don't think its related to this player but the Tf in general? Perhaps bitrate is not high enough and that's why it was able to play?

The thing is if I play this on my archos 70 or ipad1 with XBMC, the picture quality is perfect, HD looking.

Anyone noticing this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaria:
I find that curious as well. Noticed the same thing which wonders me since 720p should be mapped 1:1 on the transformer screen. But you can really notice the difference to a (baseline) encoded 1080p Video!

I played Rango in a 720P DiVXHD the other day (in MoboPlayer I believe), and I was really impressed with the quality (playing over the network nonetheless)... I'l have to go back and try it again and really pay attention to the visual quality of it. Overall though, I thought it looked great, and noticeably better than any of the 480p videos I play on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
When I was saying that video playback gets stuck I meant I was using the Diceplayer 3 day trial version. Everything I played that contained a AC3 or DTS track caused the video to freeze after a few seconds of playback. FF a bit and it plays then freezes again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sontin:
Because the player is only using the cpu to decode the ac3 audiostream. Combine this with the load from the video-decoding and there is not enough cpu power. Even at 1500Mhz i have not enough power for all my mkvs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I tend to forget that when I ran a 2.4Ghz AMD CPU on my desktop the highest res I could play were 720p MKV's most of the time. I am guessing some sorta hardware acceleration needs to be achieved in the codecs for it to play them smoothly?

I recorded a Full HD MP4 video with my Samsung Galaxy S2, where I can play back it absolutely smoothly. Then I copied it to my TF's internal SD card and it stutters like hell with the same player.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sontin:
Full HD is not good. ;)

Tegra 2 only supports Baseline for Full HD. You should check the video and which profile it has.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
But it should be. If you search Google for "Tegra 2 Full HD Video" you'll find several hints, that it should work like a charm, like in THIS product presentation video. I wonder, which player they are using in this demo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sontin:
Tegra 2 is able to play Full HD but (and this is a big but) only Baseline Profile.

And that's the problem: Baseline is dying which makes Full HD on Tegra 2 a useless feature.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dburckh:
I think it's this device/Honeycomb. I had no issues playing main profile with B-frames (no CABAC/Weighted-P or B-frames) on my Elocity A7 (Froyo). Same files do not play on Transformer.

I could never get CABAC to work, but even 2.35 cropped 1080p files played.

I'm really impressed that Dice can do mkv. It's very computationally intensive as far as containers go. Might have to give it a try.

Something's jacked up and one day it will magicly fix itself.

The main info thread said that 3.2 was supposed to have better media support. What works better?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhawkff:
The amount of mis-information going on is amazing to me.

Yes, the Transformer can play 720P high profile. Yes, it can do DD and AC3 audio. Not by default perhaps, but with the correct player it works just fine.

Diceplayer will do this just fine. The main problem is the bit-rate. 720P high profile pretty much is the max for the bit rate that the transformer can handle.

How do I know this? I've been watching videos and movies on my Transformer for weeks now using Diceplayer.

1080P? Honestly, I know it doesn't work, but I've never tried anything less than high profile. Maybe main profile works. I don't care. Everything I get is 720P high profile.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
No wonder ... have a look in the Nvidia Tegra dev forums ... these bastards don't even answer simple questions about Tegra 2 specs. How will devs ever optimize software for Tegra, if they don't get any support.

I first thought, Tegra might become some kind of standard especially for gaming ... no way ... the hardware of the SGS2 is much better and, what's most important, it's much better supported as it seems ... only one word: Gameloft.

If this trend goes on, Tegra will vanish soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
Not weird. The Tegra 2 is a phone APU jammed into a tablet. The GPU has to work a lot harder to send a 1280x800 signal out rather than the 800x480 of the G2. Moreover, the Qualcomm chip in the G2 supports NEON processor extensions which vastly help with hardware decoding of any and all video formats. The Tegra 2 left this out for space and TDP considerations so it's somewhat crippled in that aspect.

Read more about NEON here: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/neon.php

I'm somewhat baffled how Nvidia convinced Google and the OEMs to run their Tegra platform when it's clearly inferior to the OMAP 4000 line that was available at the time these started to ship.

sassafras
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
The answer is simple ... it's the well known name Nvidia and their marketing campain, that makes uninformed people believe, that Tegra 2 starts the mobile gaming revolution.

But it doesn't need a long time 'til even the uninformed masses learn their lesson ... Tegra has no future as it seems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
Kal-El looks pretty good on paper. We'll see how it actually pans out against the likes of the SGX540 and 550 line GPU wise.

I think you're right that about people associating Nvidia with gaming prowess, but this doesn't explain why Google and all of the OEMs got behind what was clearly a suboptimal product when the iPad 2 was no doubt about to ship with something that easily bests it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
Maybe it's cheaper? :-)

And since choice and competition are still very limited people will buy it any way... You knew about it and you got it... So Mr. Average Joe will buy it as well. Once we will reach a point ( in supply) of current netbooks/laptops than competition between SOC manufacturers will be more visible (as it was/is between Intel and AMD). It will mean that for example Transformer will be offered with different SOC's in different prices... Just as laptops are 2day.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superflysocal:
about 1/3 to 1/2 of my high profile 720p mkv and mp4 still doesn't play with Diceplayer, so your statement should read Tf can play some 720p high profile videos.

Still baffles me that video is not a high priority with these tablet makers.

Archos with its 1ghz single core cpu can handle every 720p video (don't have 1080p vids to check) i throw at it, every single one w/o a glitch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
Why not? I think it's absolutely clear ... Google & Co. expect higher sales because of the well known brand Nvidia, which the masses expect to be the best they can get ... they think, it's great on PC, so it has to be great on Android too. And don't forget the marketing hype about the Tegra Zone ... this seem to be the best games the Android world ever saw.

Bingo ... and everybody wants Tegra devices ... look at the sales of TF and LG 2X.

I also think, that we have a hard- AND software issue regarding video performance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superflysocal:
that's what I don't understand.

It has been well documented that Tegra2 does not do hardware acceleration for high profile videos. So how does diceplayer manage to do this? Unless, those were early conclusions by many which are wrong.

The question is will diceplayer and others be able to eventually decode all high profile videos, even if just 720p??
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCalTiger:
Some misinformation in your post too. The limitation is a combination of bitrate and profile. High-profile is more processor intensive at any given bit rate than baseline so you will hit the CPU/GPU limitations at a lower bitrate using HP than BL. I experiment with encoding a lot so it is very obvious to me. I have played 6000kbps BL video with absolutely no problems on the TF. OTOH, I have 2500kbps HP video which stutters. SAME VIDEO with different encoding.

From my experience 2500kbps is about the max I can get out of HP on the TF, depending on the material. 3000kbps BL is roughly the same quality and will never stutter. HP is roughly 20% more size-efficient than BL for the same quality of any given video.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superflysocal:
either way, usually you get hold of a movie file, you just don't want to have to reencode to get it to play.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
You're right, but missing one essential element. It's not about the average bitrate of the file, but peak bitrates. Bandwidth wise, the Tegra can handle about 5000kbps even at high profile encoding if we were to assume that there were never spikes. It's the spikes that cause stuttering because the bandwidth required to decode the frames drains the video buffer and you get stuttering as a result. This is why you'll notice stuttering in higher motion scenes (pans especially) than when the camera is fixed.

If you really want to maximize overall quality/size and achieve smoothness, you can use the CLI x264 encoder and set the max_bitrate flag to about 10,000kbps and you'll notice that you lose most (if not all) of the stuttering at the cost of some perceived quality during the fast motion shots. The upside is that the movie as a whole looks better.

Nowhere has it been documented that high profile is impossible on Tegra2. With Android 3.0.1 it was, but that was a software library limitation, not something inherent to the chipset. With 3.1 came the addition of high profile decoding for h.264. You can see here: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=210189

I like the way you say "get hold of" as a euphemism for steal. But, that aside, it is a shame that the Tegra platform is somewhat constrained in what it can handle. This is the very reason why Boxee scrapped using it in their HTPC Box and went with an atom processor instead. I suspect in your case that you have a combination of hardware limitation and dubious encoding really holding you back. I have encoded hundreds of my blu-rays in 720p and while it took me a while to find the right settings, all of mine play without issue using the stock player (and dice player for that matter).

i always have to reencode my 720 videos with avs video with these settings

works fine but it could look better...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
This could be caused by to two things:

1) IPS screens have higher distance between pixels (at least older had) than typical LCD (TN, PVA, MVA) - this causes the pixels to be more visible.

2) because of optimisations for speed the decoding is not high quality.

I found that avi files in all players on the market play with very poor video quality - they have sth like a grid of dots on them. I don't know if the decoding is to blame in their case or the scaling algorithm used to upscale them. (Probably the first though, because in games scaling has very good quality.) I found one player that didn't have the dots but it's quality was even worse (like it was not using 24-bit colour).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
You're doing something wrong if you can't get 720p AVC to play correctly. Re-encoding to AVS takes the work off the GPU and puts it back on software decoding, but yeah, you're losing a lot of quality in the process.
